Roger O'Donnell Treasure (Soot Sprite Remix)




Let's begin by saying this, I'm awful!
In the sense that five months in to the new year
and I hadn't posted anything new!
The shame is all mine to bare.
However, new and exciting projects have come up and
I'd love to share them with you now!

First up is an epic video called 'Bark To The Future'--
a loving wink to the time travel movie series starring Michael J. Fox.
It's about a time-tripping dog who borrows the family
Delorean to visit the four corners of time.

Backing the film is a soundtrack composed of a remix I did for
Roger O'Donnell's lovely track, "Treasure" taken from his 2006 album,
'The Truth In Me'.

Truth be told, it wasn't the case were the film was in need of
a soundtrack and this piece of music fit the bill.

It was actually the opposite case as I had made the
remix a year earlier and enjoyed it as if it was one of Roger's
own works. Eventually when I sat down to upload the track
to YouTube I figured I would need to cobble a
video together to make it interesting.
Hope you get a kick out of it.


Roger O'Donnell is of course known for having been the Cure's
keyboard player for a number of years.
(In fact, he's set to play with them for a couple of
one-off shows in Europe shortly!)

However, in exploring his career following his
tenure with the band I came to find an artist who had an
incredible talent for producing beautiful works of sonic art.


While the majority of his output has remained loyal to electronics
we have since been treated to an eclectic array of albums
with many different sounds. Some collections
centering around piano and string compositions,
forays into jazz and numerous remixes for artists
who've come calling for his skills.

His music can be found on iTunes, Amazon and 7Digital
